The Asthenosphere can be described as the highly viscous portion of the upper mantle. Based on the options given, the suitable characteristics of the asthenosphere is Pressure is higher than crust.

  • The asthenosphere is very popular for its viscous nature and hence being consistently solid is not it's characteristic.

  • The asthenosphere has a thickness of about 120 - 180 km while the crust is about 30km - 70 km thick. Hence, the asthenosphere is thicker than the crust.

  • Due to the amount of load on the asthenosphere which is below the crust, the asthenosphere has a greater amount of pressure than the crust.

Hence, the pressure in the asthenosphere is greater than the crust.
